The Rise of LLMJacking: How Threat Actors Monetize Compromised Cloud and Model Resources
LLMJacking is the hijacking of enterprise cloud LLM access, which Mandiant and GTIG saw in multiple 2026 incidents with charges above $100,000 a day and up to $1 million per victim. The report covers initial access through stolen cloud tokens and API keys, persistence, LiteLLM privilege escalation (CVE-2026-40217), and resale through "LLM Mixers" such as Jet Night and newapi[.]pro. It gives CloudTrail, Azure and GCP audit-log hunting guidance and hardening steps.
